1- Cut two square/rectangular pieces of fabric measuring 50 x 50 cm/60 x 35 cm. The pattern includes a 1 cm seam allowance. Mark the tucks as shown in the drawing on page 2.
2- The distance between the marks is 6 cm. If you wish, secure with pins.
3- Sew a line of stitching 0.5 cm from the edge along the marks. Don’t forget to weave in ends at the start and end of the stitching. Repeat for each tuck.
4- Lay fabric pieces right sides together. Sew along all the edges (1 cm seam allowance). Leave a 35 cm gap at the bottom for turning. Turn the cushion over to the right side. Insert the cushion into the cover. Hand or machine stitch to close the gap.
5- Mark up your pleats. Cut a small notch at the edge of the fabric at the top and bottom. Mark up the first pleat 1.5 cm from the edge and mark subsequent pleats at 2 cm intervals. The last pleat will be 1.5 cm from the edge.
6- Pleat the fabric across the width, working from notch to notch. If you wish, you can fold the fabric around a strip of cardboard to make precise pleat folds. Press.
7- Sew a line of stitching 0.5 cm inside the folding edge. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have sewn all the pleats.
8- A. Press all the pleats to the same side. (starting point for B and C)
9- B. Fancy pleats: Stitch across the pleats. Make sure the stitching lines are equidistant. Measure a distance of 5-6 cm between the lines of stitching. At each line of stitching, lay the pleats flat alternately from one side to the other. Carefully press over the stitching and about 1.5 cm on each side of the stitching to ensure that the pleats are even.
10- C. Harlequin pattern: Sew the pleats to form a harlequin pattern. Hand-stitch at intervals of about 5 cm. Carefully press over the hand-stitching and about 1.5 cm on each side of the stitching to ensure that the pleats are even.
